lyrics

(D) If I were to write a song
the (Em) probability
there’d (G) be a hint of melancholy
(D) in the melody
so (D) brace yourself cause my pen bleeds
these (Em) words up this page
I (G) fight the desolation
but (D) fail to disengage

(refrain)
(Bm7) Sometimes I’m (F#m) lost for words
as (D7) if I had (G) never heard
the (D) Angels singing (Em) out to me
I (G) only cry in (D) major key

(D) If I found myself with you
with this (Em) guitar in my hand
I (G) wonder what I’d sing to you
(D) as I made my stand
a (D) gentle strum upon these strings
would (Em) captivate the room
but no (G) words emerge from my lips
to (D) break the pending gloom

And (D) so I put my mask back on
the (Em) music starts to fade
the (G) day breaks I return to work
the (D) piper must be paid
the (D) world will turn the sun will shine
and the (Em) shadow plays her part
to (G) drown the tune in my head
and (D) silence my heart
